Understand the Type of Wallet You Have

Recovery options depend on whether your wallet is custodial or non-custodial:

Custodial wallets (like a Coinbase Exchange account) are controlled by a platform that holds your private keys. If hacked, contact the platform immediately to freeze access.
Non-custodial wallets (such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Phantom, or Rabby) give you full control of your private keys. Unfortunately, this also means that if your seed phrase or private key is compromised, so is your wallet.

If you log in with an email and password, it is likely custodial. If you use a seed phrase, it is likely non-custodial.

Common Crypto Wallet Scams

Cybercriminals use sophisticated tactics to compromise investor accounts. Some of the most common include:

Fake dApps and approval scams that silently transfer assets from victims
Clipboard malware that replaces copied wallet addresses
Seed phrase theft through “customer support” impostors or phishing
Romance and investment fraud schemes (“pig butchering”)
SIM swaps targeting exchange accounts

What to Do Immediately After a Wallet Hack

1. Stop using the compromised wallet.

2. Take screenshots of your wallet balance and transaction history.

3. Save your transaction hashes (TXIDs) and wallet addresses.

4. Revoke active approvals using a trusted tool.

5. Move remaining funds to a new wallet created on a secure device.

6. Contact any exchanges where stolen funds may have been sent.

7. Preserve all device data and evidence.

8. Contact Silver Miller to begin the legal recovery process.
